Rustic Painted Fabric Pumpkins

Fall is probably my favorite time to DIY seasonal projects for our home. I'm pretty sure I could make pumpkins all day long and never get tired of them. I tend to gravitate towards wood projects, but this time I decided to try something different.

I recently went to a vintage market and was inspired by fabric pumpkins they were selling. I knew I could make them myself and the fact that I had all the supplies at home made this project a no brainer.
After gathering my supplies, I used a trash can lid as a template to trace a large circle onto my fabric.





I cut out the circle then used heavy duty thread to stitch around the edge of the fabric, stuffed it with poly fill then pulled the string tight.











I wrapped more thread around the entire pumpkin to divide the fabric into sections.





I painted the pumpkin using white chalk paint, then finished it off with wire and a wood knob.





It's the perfect rustic addition to my fall decor!
